Own Virtual Land
'Second life' is a playable virtual world or MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) where you can buy, among other things, a virtual island. Here's the description from the website:
Imagine your own island getaway in Second Life! Perhaps you have an idea for a huge project which you want to realize, and you just need a lot of open space to build. Maybe you and a group of friends and colleagues are looking for a gathering place which can expand as your community grows. Or maybe you have visions of a world under your own control, where you add land with each increase of your population.
Considering these islands don't exist in physical space, they're not cheap at US$1,250 for 16 acres, AND you have to pay mothly fees for maintenance at US$195.
Wonder how it competes with a square meter of Moon, or naming a star.
